The Disputed Territories of Nyaspin is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, feral children, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.087 billion Nyaspinians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 84.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Nyaspinian economy, worth 584 trillion escudoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 142,962 escudoes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 490,471 per year while the poor average 30,584, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Many of the poor live from cradle to grave without ever seeing sunlight, beaches are empty as the shark population multiplies exponentially, concussed okapiball players cannot remember their lineup position, and unstable couples are known to break up over which one gets parental leave. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nyaspin's national animal is the okapi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nyaspin is ranked 312,039^th in the world and 28^th in Varas Opener Sanctuary for Most Pacifist, with 5.96 cheeks turned per day.
